PEKING EXPERIENCES.

The tourists on their arrival this morning were full of their experiences on the rail journey From Chin Wan Tuo to Peking, Great difliculty was experienced in getting through the train to meet the boat at Ching Wan Tao. Mr. Janes Park, in charge of the department of communications, seems to have had the most trying time of all. His job was to get the train through from Peking and owing to the revolt of Chang's troops the line was blocked with troop trains and he was informed there was no right of way,
